The
month of Shravan is the most auspicious month of the Chaturmas. This month is
spread out with innumerably religious festivals and ceremonies and almost all
the days of this month are auspicious.

Shravan
is considered the holiest month of the year. Each Monday of this month, known
as Shravani Somvar, is a special day in
Shiva temples Devotees pile the linga high with Bel leaves and flowers and fast
till sunset. The nandadeep (24 hour lamp) burns steadily in the temples.

Also on all Fridays of Shravan month married women
observe Jiviti Puja.

So to celebrate the auspicious beginning of shravan
month today I have prepared “Poha Potato Vada”. J
